Disney Designs Makeup Lamps Technology

It’s lit, literally.

Finding the right lighting has always been important for the perfect selfie. But in the future, the right light might just be able to take you from a makeup-free face to red-carpet-ready in a matter of milliseconds. According to Fast Company, Disney Research's latest design uses light to project the illusion of a full face of makeup onto your face.

Known as Makeup Lamps, the technology can be likened to that of your favorite Snapchat filter. Or, more accurately, Lady Gaga's tribute performance to David Bowie at the 2016 Grammys, where Intel's facial mapping allowed her to pull off several of his most famous makeup looks as she sang onstage. But taking things one step further, Makeup Lamps' projection can keep up with your movements in real time, and even predict how your face will move next to ensure the makeup illusion is never broken.

Makeup Lamps seems to be a perfect fit to magically make over actors and live performers at Disney's parks without the help of even a single makeup product. But the lazy side of us also thinks it would be pretty cool to have on hand in our day-to-day lives. No need to put on makeup in the morning or scrub it off every night? Sign us up.
